COUNTRY: MAURITIUS
I came to Regina, Canada, from Mauritius in Fall 2018 after completing my Cambridge 'A' Level Examinations. The one question I still always receive is, "You left a tropical island to come to a country this cold?" And the answer is, yes, and I would not have it any other way. From the moment I arrived in Regina, the International Student Services team were ready to help with any questions I had and always listened to me whenever I reached out to them. I had the opportunity to become an Ambassador Leader, through one of the University's volunteer programs, eventually leading to my opportunity to successfully run for the Board of Directors for the Regina Public Interest Research Group. My advice to offer to anyone seeking to apply to the U of R is to ask questions. UR International, your professors, and the University as a whole, are there to support you throughout your entire journey.
